Axed Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo has been spending time with a new 'team’ in what could be a nod to a career change for the Australian star.

The Red Bull junior team that Ricciardo drove for announced the 35-year-old had been dropped by the team after the Singapore Grand Prix, with youngster Liam Lawson replacing him for the remainder of the 2024 season.

Ricciardo was initially tipped to replace a struggling Sergio Perez at Red Bull, however he failed to prove successful against team-mate Yuki Tsunoda and butchered this opportunity.

Not only did Ricciardo fail to dominate Tsunoda, but the Japanese driver was the individual who has delivered consistently for RB, and was rewarded with a contract for next season whilst Ricciardo appears to be out of the sport for good.

However, Ricciardo has recently been spotted by fans on social media with a new group; the Gypsy Tales podcast team, who previously labelled him: "the biggest fan of Supercross in the Formula 1 paddock".

A video circulating on social media depicted Ricciardo smiling as he was dressed in racing gear helping someone get on a motocross bike in a caption that read “team effort @gypsytalespodcast @coreywilson @danielricciardo.”

Ricciardo also appeared with American motocross racer Adam Cianciarulo, on his Instagram dressed in a racing suit in a caption that read “Rode pit bikes for 8 hours yesterday, and it was glorious.”

Regardless of Ricciardo’s next career move, he remains popular across the world despite his exit from F1 and hasn't ruled out a transition to two wheels just yet.
